The big story from Day 1 of the USA Men’s National Team selection meet is Junior Danell Leyva.
Gymnastike reports:
Dannel Leyva … trains at Universal Gymnastics in Miami where he is coached by his dad, Yin Alvarez.
… finished 3rd AA out of the 77 competitors. If he does this again Saturday he’ll be on the senior team for sure.
See a video interview with Danell after the meet.

The “theatrical emotional reactions of his coach and father” are not appreciated by many, however. Myself included.
I feel it displays a lack of respect for the other competitors.
